Upton Professor Owners in Twin Cities, Minnesota?

[chancletarock]

Hey Talkbassers-

I'm new to this thread, but super-thankful I found it. I'm spending this summer saving money to finally get my own upright, because I've been playing on my school's bass forever, and it's junk in all senses. I'd like to make an investment and get a full-carved model, and of course, I'm considering Upton (insert sheep emoticon here).

So my question is, are there any UB Professor owners in the Twin Cities (MN) that would be willing to let me come check out their bass, just to see one up close? I'll make a trip out to Connecticut later to check, but... I mean, if you're gonna drop 5Gs on somethin' you might as well give it a look first, right?

Feel free to PM me or reply or even hit me up at my email, aforeman{[-at-]}macalester.edu -

Thanks in advance - the information on this forum is a godsend.

Peace,
Andrew

For the price range you are looking at play a Wan Bernadel as well.
I tried a professor, bought a Wan Bernadel, and couldn't be happier.

if you think it would help, you're welcome to look at my deluxe hybrid. It's a USA bass made in November of last year.
